The Bauer Vapor X80 Ice Hockey Skates offers great performance at a great value. The Vapor X80 takes a big jump in performance, especially in the lower portion of the skate. The fiber composite outsole and Tuuk LS2 stainless steel will blow the competition away.

The Vapor signature design has been the X-Rib construction in the heel of the quarter package. The way it's engineered it allows for an excellent energy transfer in every stride as well as cornering. The all new Tuuk Edge Holder sits 3mm taller than previous years, preventing bottoming out when taking extra tight turn. This allows the player to get over on their edges even further, allowing the player to turn tighter than ever before. This new holder also has a quick release trigger system that allows runners to be swapped out in seconds.

Comments: I have flat moderately wide feet and these skates have been amazing so far. Sharper crisper crossovers more powerful strides great starts and stops and great edge control. Not to mention the edge holder means no more rusted blades. So easy to maintain and just all wound awesome for soft ice deeper edges hard ice shallow edges merely in seconds. I would buy these again as going to the x90 or 100 does not seem worth the price increase for liners.From: Kyle, Overland Park, KA
